This is the story that had everyone talking all year long, about the young Montreal Canadiens defenseman Lane Hutson.
Will he win the famous Calder Trophy, awarded to the NHL’s Rookie of the Year?
Will he pave the way for next year, so that Ivan Demidov can try to become the second Canadiens player in two years to win that honor?
It would already be confirmed for Lane Hutson, according to the bookmakers
If we look at the current available odds, we can indeed say that it would already be confirmed for Hutson.
Listen. Bookmakers are almost always right, they always have access to insider information.. And here are their current odds for the 2024-2025 Calder Trophy.
Lane Hutson: 1.08
Macklin Celebrini: 8.50
Matvei Michkov: 76.00
Dustin Wolf: 101.00
You read that right!
So that means, according to the bookmakers, Lane Hutson (rightfully so) has nearly a 93% chance of winning the Calder Trophy!
Wow.
I knew Hutson was the favorite, but I have to admit, the 1.08 still surprised me.
A $100 bet on Lane Hutson right now would return a mere $8.. He’s that much of a favorite!
Please note that two different sources (two different websites) were consulted to arrive at these figures, and both had the same numbers.
Lane Hutson, 21 years old, has racked up an incredible 64 points in 80 games this season, in his rookie year, and he’s been averaging a point per game since joining the Canadiens’ top power play unit.
His -1 plus/minus is also impressive under the circumstances.
In short, if we go by the odds above, yes, we can say it would be confirmed for Lane Hutson and the Calder Trophy.
Even Hall of Fame defenseman Chris Pronger approves!
I really wasn’t expecting such a big gap between Celebrini and Hutson (and don’t even get me started on Matvei Michkov).
